¡Meet the Band Leaders-6
¡V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] A look at two big bands of the early '50s, featuring many star players! --Seven of Ellington's finest numbers are featured on this album. The Ellington Band of the `52 era, featuring Clark Terry (tp), Paul Gonzalves (ts), and Louis Bellson (ds), replacing Johnny Hodges (as) and featuring Willie Smith, one of the three great alto players along with B. Carter and Hodges. Hampton's Hampton Orchestra is also as attractive as the rest. Hampton himself is a talented pianist who plays piano with a unique one-finger technique and handles everything from drums to vocals in addition to his main job as a vibes player. The fun of finding out who the backing members are is also a treat.
